Tips

If you don't want to spend much money before you see if you really do want to do it as a hobby, use computer-printed photos on medium quality and thickness photo paper, cropping the original image to the parts needed for each layer to save ink and fit more than one layer per each A4 page, some small adhesive foam squares from a hobby department (for spacing, instead of silicon), fine tipped scissors (nail scissors work well for hard to reach spots and to help go round curves), and a thick catalogue or magazine (unwanted!) to use as the cutting sheet.
